The job

What we found

A new home going up, and the owners wanted the pool built as part of it rather than added afterwards.

How we sequenced it

Layout, excavation, steel, shotcrete, and waterproofing on the shell. Plumbing and equipment came next, then coping and tile. Bond coat, a CL Industries Pebble interior in St. Lucia Pearl, and an Orenda startup.

The finishes carry this one. The tile is a glass mosaic set in epoxy grout with glitter in it. The deck is travertine slabs over concrete, laid on a decoupling membrane so movement in the concrete does not telegraph up into the stone. The pool and spa combo has a sun shelf and runs on automation. Alfred Innovations, a separately licensed company, built the screen enclosure on the same schedule as the pool. One crew, one schedule.

Where it landed

A private place to sit in the sun and swim, with a pool and spa that run on automation and a travertine deck built to stay flat. The owners are extremely happy with it.

Questions we get on this kind of job

How long does a pool renovation take?

It depends on scope, permitting, weather, and material lead times. A builder who quotes a day count before seeing your shell is guessing. What you should expect is a dated schedule before work starts, and that is what we give you.

Why does coping go on before waterline tile?

Setting coping first means the tile band is only cut once, and it lets the waterproofing run continuously behind both. Tiling first forces a second cut and leaves a break in the waterproofing at the joint most exposed to sun and pool chemistry.

When do I pay?

Milestone billing. Each stage of the schedule triggers its own invoice, and a stage is only billed once it's complete. Nothing is billed ahead of the work.

Thinking about a pool like this one?

Luke walks it himself and prices it line-item by trade. You'll have a dated schedule before anything comes apart.
